If you’re trying to figure out how to keep your kids occupied this spring break, the Fitbit Ace LTE is an easy way to get them outdoors and off their phones. The kid-friendly smartwatch encourages movement with trackable games, and it’s back to an all-time low price of $99.95 ($80 off) at Amazon ahead of the retailer’s Big Spring Sale. Best Buy and Target are also matching that price.

The Ace LTE sports some of the same hardware found on the Google Pixel Watch 2 and a variety of step-activated games, which can help motivate your child to keep moving. It also offers calling, messaging, and location sharing when you sign up for a monthly or annual data plan. Read our hands-on impressions.

Where to Buy:

Built with kids ages 7 to 11 in mind, the wearable features step-activated games and a digital companion called Eejie. As they play more, kids can earn points that can be used to buy items like outfits, rooms, and other accessories for Eejie. The built-in activities are simple and fun, and include a fishing challenge where kids cast their arm and pull it back to catch fish and a Mario Kart-styled game where kids race by tilting their arm. 

Fitbit also includes useful safety and communication features.  There are no ads or third-party app stores to worry about, and parental controls let you manage contacts and tweak other settings. You can also monitor your child’s progress on activity goals and disable games during school hours. What’s really helpful is that it can double as a smartphone replacement; the Ace supports Tap to Pay via Google Pay, so kids can make purchases on their own. With a $9.99 monthly subscription, kids can also call or text preapproved contacts and share their location through Google Maps, all without requiring a separate smartphone.
